    I seem to be have assumed the role of PV balancer for Shafeeq and Oscar, as lately my good and bad days are the opposite of yours.

    Good Tues, bad Wed, good Thurs with 17.5.

    Hopefully next week my generation will jump somewhat, as I slowly progress forward with my 'will he, won't he' exercise in PV extensions (careful how you say that!).

    Yesterday's nightmare was finding out that the whole of Cardiff is scaffolding anything that isn't moving. 20 calls in, and starting to panic, 'sorry butt, we're fully booked, no chance of doing it before Monday'. Finally a lovely 'old valleys boy' came to my rescue, and despite my offering him my first born, settled on £200. What a star. So I went out and got a few cases of beer in to say thanks.

    No disasters today, but Monday is still (on average) about 25 emergencies away. I'm sure it should be easier than this!

    Mart.
    Mart. Cardiff. 8.72 kWp PV systems (2.12 SSW 4.6 ESE & 2.0 WNW). 20kWh battery storage. Two A2A units for cleaner heating. Two BEV's for cleaner driving.

    For general PV advice please see the PV FAQ thread on the Green & Ethical Board.
